With a playoff win on the line, St. Brendan rose to the challenge on Wednesday. They walked away with a 6-1 victory over the Killian Cougars. This was payback for the Sabres, who suffered a 10-5 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Giannicarlo Guzman-Garcia looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jan Perez Fernandez, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3. Mason Porven also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
